Why can Windows run on any hardware easily but Android requires specific ROMs for each phone?
In: Technology
You’ve got it backwards.
Everyone who wants to sell computer hardware (except Apple) makes hardware that Windows can be loaded onto.
Nobody will buy a phone with no software on it, so the phone people can save valuable storage space by putting the version of Android that they choose onto it. Supporting different versions isn’t someting people will pay more for, so they don’t do it.
